Well, my first install failed (I was away from the machine, so I don't know why iot failed), so I installed the 20 Gig HD as the slave and ran the install again. Then it failed again, after installing "Alternate (or is it Additional?) Fonts". I ran the install a third time, and when it rebooted, I transferred everything to the noew drive, but as soon as I confirmed my decision, I let out a yelp, becuase I don't want a userid "VOXPOP" (with admin rights and a password of "voxpop" ;^).

I may re-install a final time, copying ONLY the applications, nothing else. It runs prety snappy under 10.4 Tiger as is, may not do anything with graphics or HD, as others mentioned, I'd avoid pouring $$ into this machine (enjoy it as is)...
